Japan, a monumental stone five roof pagoda tower , 78” high, granite, late Meiji to Taisho period, (1900-1926) and spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements.
The monumental carved stone Buddhist sculptural five layered tower fashioned in seven parts with a tall incised five ring finial Hoju representative of five elements known as earth, wind, fire, water, and ethereal space; five sets of hexagonal shaped roofs all mounted on a four legged base and hand-carved of a granite stone with considerable patina from appropriate age.
Provenance: Old Japanese Nagoya garden and private collection
Japan’s stone pagodas were the Japanese Buddhist versions of Chinese pagodas and originally Indian stupas. By the Meiji era, the word to came to mean tower and a pagoda’s size was measured in ken, where a ken is the interval between two pillars of a traditional-style building.
This beautifully hand-carved sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location.
All hand-carved. Fine patina from great age.
Only one.
